23 December – Someone told me that you’re the same

Are you excited yet? One or two nights sleep for you, before you become the proud owner of some new socks. Or that monkey wrench you've had your eye on since you developed a fascination for all things primate in Kyiv.

But the birthdays continue and today it's the turn of Elisabeth 'Beth' Rodergas Cols. Back in the day, our friends in Spain swore that Operacíon Triunfo would be the right vehicle to win the competition and slaughter the opposition in the process. It didn't quite work as intended as was dropped after a few years. But it came back in October and will finish early in 2018. Will it work? Well, it can't do any worse than what RTVE picked for Kyiv.
